Gottman Couples Counseling

Relationship counseling can improve wellbeing in the couples, but also the people around the couple, including children. The Gottman Institute has helped couples in saving marriages from divorce. Dr. Gottman has said that most marriages fail because the couple does not receive counseling early enough for the benefits to be realized.
The statistics on the benefits of couples and marriage counseling have been studied and reported by Dr. Gottman and Dr. Levenson for over 20 years. Their pioneering work has influenced practitioners across the globe. It has been reported that Dr. Gottman can predict the longevity of a couples’ relationship within minutes of meeting them. What has been found is that most couples wait too long to seek counseling. So get help today.
